Two volumes, octavos, modern crimson three quarter morocco gilt, top edge gilt, with half titles, nice. This eclectic selection ranges from the expected such as Defoe, Pope, Walpole, Shenstone, Steele, Goldsmith, Fielding, Smollett, Addison, and others to the quite unexpected such as Captain Cook and Marco Polo. Hunt prefaces each of his selections with critical comments, and has written a long introductory essay to the entire work. This is a surprisingly difficult work to find. Brewer Hunt, page 234-237. First edition. Uncommon. This set will require extra postage, with the exact amount depending upon the destination. Seller Inventory # 0522
